Chapter 4776: Good News!
Young Master Qin Da silently grumbled about the little stoic in his mind: This stoic girl is not only slow to react, but she also always seems to overlook people. I don't know why.
Take him, for instance.
Even though he, the handsome Young Master of the Qin estate, intentionally paraded himself in front of Lady Qiao Qiao all day, the little stoic would simply ignore him.
"I want to eat," Lady Qiao Qiao's shout pulled Young Master Qin Da's wandering thoughts back.
Regaining his composure, Young Master Da met Qiao Mu's inky black eyes and couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Alright, I'll go have someone prepare it now."
"You were stunned by the divine stone cannons earlier, so you shouldn't eat too much messy food. How about I just make you a bowl of plain porridge?"
No sooner had Young Master Wu finished speaking than he saw the little stoic turn her head, shake it at him, and firmly state, "I want to eat."
Young Master Wu couldn't help but smile slightly at her insistent expression.
Qiao Mu said expressionlessly, "I want braised pork."
Young Master Wu had intended to tell her that the dish was too greasy and that she should have something lighter.
But then he saw the slightly rigid expression on the little stoic's face, and somehow, the words on the tip of his tongue turned into "Okay."
"I'll go check the kitchen." Young Master Wu made a somewhat hurried exit.
Qiao Mu wore a baffled expression, not understanding what was going on with Young Master Qin Wu.
Seeing Young Master Wu also leave, the little stoic finally raised her hand and took her own pulse.
She wanted to check her physical condition. Why was she so weak that she couldn't even touch fatty foods?
She also wondered which quack doctor had prescribed light food for her during her unconsciousness.
Upon taking her pulse, her expression froze slightly.
The little stoic then, unwilling to give up, took her pulse three more times consecutively, finally confirming one thing.
The pulse was smooth and flowing, like pearls rolling on a plate—this was clearly a pregnancy pulse.
Looking at her expression, it would be impossible to detect even a hint of excitement, yet at this moment, her heart was incredibly stirred.
She simply couldn't believe her own diagnosis.
The little stoic, still unsure, took her pulse twice more. When she looked up, her moist eyes seemed to glimmer with a fluctuating light, revealing no discernible emotion.
After living two lives, was this her first time becoming a mother?
What kind of life experience would this be?
She didn't know, but if anyone familiar with her were present, they would surely hear her irregular breathing and rapidly beating heart.
Lady Qiao Qiao quickly walked to the brocade couch and sat down, desperately trying to calm her wildly beating heart, taking deep breaths one after another.
She placed a hand on her still flat lower abdomen, unable to suppress the soaring excitement in her heart.
She really was pregnant?
It was almost unbelievable, although she had consciously longed for the arrival of this little one.
But now that it had truly happened, she felt a sense of incredulity.
It truly was a different life now; she was going to be a mother?
If Qiao Qiao's Lian knew, he would probably be overjoyed to the point of foolishness again.
Unseen Depths
In a pitch-black area where one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.
The pitiful Crown Prince Mo and Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable stumbled along, unsure how long they had been walking. Their feet felt nothing but gravel and broken rocks, and everything around them was shrouded in darkness.
Mo Lian suddenly rubbed his forehead and stated confidently, "Qiao Qiao is thinking about me again."
Feng Chen responded with a dismissive "Hmph."
Physical exertion was rapid in this place; he didn't even want to speak anymore.
